Weigh-In Wednesday - 1/15/2014

It's another Weigh-In Wednesday!

...and I'm down another 1.4 lbs. I am still chuggin' along in the 21-day FullyRaw Challenge, as well as following Well-Girl's December 2013 Shoulder & Arm Challenge (yes, I know it's january!) and Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans' Squat and Push-up 31-day Bootcamp, though I am on day 8 today - a week behind, remember? ;)

More exciting news! I decided to begin Couch-to-5k this week! Yesterday was Week 1, Day 1 and I have to say, I was super impressed with myself for completing it. About halfway through I thought to myself that the old me TOTALLY would've given up about that time. Since I've almost always been overweight, I never thought in a million years I would be a runner, but as I'm growing into my new self, I'm realizing that I think I might actually REALLY enjoy running! I don't really have any specific goal to run in a 5k, but just to be able to run for cardio. Plus...being outside, connecting with nature, all that hippie stuff that runners say about getting high on endorphins...really appealing to me these days!

If you want to join me in beginning C25K this week, there's still time!

Weight: 281.8 (↓46.6 since May 1, 2013; ↓66.8 since highest known weight of 348.6)
P4P donation total: $51.20

PS: I will not be donating any money to Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward Project this month. I am going to hold off until I get back to that 51.2 mark and then I will pick it up again. (which means I am ONLY 4.6 pounds away from being able to give again!)

Weigh-In Wednesday - 1/8/2014

It's Weigh-In Wednesday!

...and I am down 2.2 lbs from last week! I had no doubt in myself that I could get back on track. In addition to participating in the 21-day FullyRaw Challenge, today I've decided to begin doing a couple of month-long work-out calendar challenges. I will be using Well-Girl's December 2013 Shoulder & Arm Challenge (yes, I know it's january!) along with Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans' Squat and Push-up 31-day Bootcamp. I will be doing these starting on Day 1 today - I'm okay being a week behind! - in addition to some cardio. So, join in the fun!

A New Year, A New Me!

Yes. That is the right picture. I am up 8.2 pounds since my December weigh-in. To say I am disappointed with myself is a bit of an understatement. I pretty much stopped working out before Thanksgiving. I indulged. I drank. I knew it was coming. But... c'est la vie.

I do have some exiting news to share! Beginning this Sunday, January 5th, I will be starting the 21-Day FullyRaw Challenge that is being done by a local gal, here in my hometown, named Kristina. She runs Rawfully Organic, which is the largest non-profit food cooperative in the nation. She's quite an inspiring young lady and I hope to learn a lot through this 21-day journey. Kristina will be giving away a free e-book at the end of the 21-days, all you have to do are join in and watch the daily youtube videos, comment on and like the, and provide your email address on the website (there is a link to the email entry in the description of every video).

I have also decided that since I'm currently doing a 6-month long dietbet that allows weekly weigh-ins, I'm going to start posting weekly with my photo and perhaps some news or sound advice each week. We'll see. I am excited to get back on track with my weight loss journey, and I hope you'll join me!
